"These brushes reflect a lifetime of tinkering to find the best brush money can buy for easier blending and glazes. Most wash brushes hold lots of color but I wanted one that I could use on wet paper. The bristle hair holds a lot of paint but little water, so you can lay larger and bolder shapes into the wet paper. Cold Pressed and rough surfaces are lovely to work on but when I need to blend, I really need a brush that will work its way into the tooth of the paper. The stiffer bristles do this better than softer hairs. You'll find them to be excellent for loosing edges and blending.

These brushes will soon be your favorite glazing brush because they hold just enough water to allow one large or two stroke glazing without delivering too much water and color. The flat edge and larger sizes of these brushes allow you to create thick and sharp chiseled shapes.

You may have noticed from the picture that the handle looks rather strange. I assure you it was not a mistake. The handle is custom designed to allow you to hold it for more natural and easy motion. You'll also want to note that we went state-of-the-art on these brushes for long life. Each with stainless steel plated ferrules that won't rust. They are also attached to high quality blue resin handles that will never chip or crack. Try one today and if you don't love this brush, give it back to us and we willbe glad to refund your full purchased price." - Sterling Edwards

Signature Series -

Fine nylon hair filament comes to a crisp edge or fine point

Super resilient hair creates a superb response to your touch

"Signature" blue plastic handles won't warp, chip or break down

Seamless nickel plated ferrules won't rust

Sterling Edwards has designed a series of brushes that not only allow you to create beautiful paintings but are made to last and are affordable. Brushes in this "Signature" brush collection are made with brush heads with fine nylon brush filament hair. This filament holds just enough color to deliver excellent results without deluging the paper with too much water. The filament hair is characterized by its excellent shaping abilities and its incredible brush response which allows the brush head to snap back to shape after each stroke. The slim profile of the flat brushes allow controlled applications of color while maintaining a sharp edge allowing you to "cut-in" shapes without difficulties.

The round brushes are excellent for fine detail or large wash strokes. The shape and resiliency maintains a crisp point through each stroke creating a harmonious relationship between the eye-paper-brush. Sterling's trademark blue plastic handles eliminate the aggravation of paint cracking and chipping off the brush handle. All brush handles are attached to the brush head with a seamless rust proof ferrule to insure long time painting pleasure.

Perfect special use brushI ordered these brushes after watching a demo by Mr Edwards at the FWS. I want to paint a cypress swamp and these brushes allow a good vertical movement.

Interesting to look atI am a watercolorist but have wanted to paint more loosely. I like Sterling Edwards and his work inspires me. His brushes are the right size for my smaller female grip and they perform beautifully.

These Brushes Work Great!These bristle brushes are amazing and they work super with watercolors. I first learned about using stiff bristle brushes on a Sterling Edwards instructional DVD. I was skeptical at first, so I bought a 3-pack of cheap gesso brushes of the same widths, trimmed them short... and wow, they worked exactly as advertised. I have since purchased all 3 sizes of the genuine Sterling Edwards bristle brushes. These are high quality, simple and affordable brushes. The handle design makes sense and is very comfortable. The synthetic bristles work much better and clean much easier than the natural hog bristle I tried using. As described, these brushes do hold lots of water and work great for wetting, painting and blending. If you use these brushes as Sterling teaches, it will change your art in wonderful ways.

A must have brushI refer to this as my magic brush. It has saved many disappointing skys. It is perfect for blending out hard edges in watercolors that dried too quickly. It is also good for applying a wet wash as it holds a lot of water and works the water into the paper better than a regular watercolor wash brush.

A real lifesaver and a great toolI refer to this as my magic brush. I use it to blend hard edges when they have dried too quickly. It's saved many a sky that looked hopeless. It's also good for wetting your paper as it holds a lot of water and really works the water into the fibers. Many of my classmates have these brushes and love them.
